I honestly feel this may be more of a 2.5 star book mainly because whilw its called money it only really starts out talking about the history of money about halfway through it digresses into discussion of a future AI world
While AI is a very interesting subject that is not what i expected this book to be about.
While I enjoy Harari's style and I think most of his ideas are interesting, this one was a bit of a let down. My fault resides in the fact that I did not research this book at all before buying. Turned out to be a collection of extracts from his 2 icon books Sapiens and Homo Deus. Having read those two before, this book did not bring any new idea on the table. May be a good go-to for people with little time, and who wish to see a very concentrated version of Harari's ideas. Otherwise, whatever presented in this book is also written in the 2 books mentioned above
